Late C20 shop entrance and window left, 3-light window right and round-arched passage entrance far right. 2 casement windows with margin lights and flat brick arches to 1st floor, 2 smaller almost square casements to 2nd floor, inserted window between. Stone blocks set into walls at 2nd and 3rd floor levels. Left return: tall staircase window of 8 x 4 panes; right return: entrance from passage has double doors of 3 fielded-panels in a moulded casing with fascia above with name 'Angel Buildings'. INTERIOR: the side passage entrance opens into a narrow hall with shop premises to left and stairs at far end; a timber partition on the right has a doorway and window into rear premises not examined. Cellars: stone steps, 2 brick segmental vaulted rooms to rear, one with stone barrel ramp and steps from the rear yard, stone floors, a reused timber with mortice hole and slots used as a floor beam at the foot of the steps, front-room floor carried on joists. Stairs from ground to 2nd floor: fine turned column on vase balusters and ramped handrail damaged by insertion of scaffolding on upper floor. Upper-floor ceiling beams cased in. The oldest purpose-built inn building surviving in the yards off Briggate, it probably originally stood higher than the street frontage shops, with access from Briggate and Lands Lane.
